Treasure State Farm and Livestock Urges Stockmen to Test Cattle
Dr. J G Warwick of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry urges Montana stockmen to test cattle for tuberculosis during winter before spring work begins. He says all cattle bought by large packers will soon be subject to government inspection, shifting loss to the shipper when livestock are condemned. He notes high carcass losses from fat cattle and warns about rapid spread of acute tuberculosis. The article cites rising interstate movement controls and a yearly livestock tuberculosis loss estimated at 40 million dollars, much of it from dairy cattle.
